Malayalam cinema actor Shine Tom Chacko, popular for his muscular and energetic acts in various industries of films, has made news once again—but not for any kind of cinematic feat, rather because he has reportedly been in some alleged case involving drugs.
Shine, who has developed a strong fan base with strong performances in films like Dasara—where he played a dark villain opposite Nani—has often been lauded for performing bold and unconventional characters. His ability to connect with people beyond language barriers has fetched him critical acclaim and consistent work in Malayalam, Telugu, and Tamil cinema.
Despite having a successful film career, though, Shine Tom Chacko’s life outside the camera lens has not lacked controversies. Recent events saw him being complained about by a famous Malayalam actress, accusing Shine of improper conduct. That one is yet to be decided on, but this new controversy cropped up.
As per reports, Shine can be connected to a case involving drugs that is under investigation by the police. The police raided a hotel in Kerala recently on the basis of reliable intelligence about a drug racket functioning from the hotel. Shine Tom Chacko is said to have run away from the site to evade arrest during the raid.
What has further ignited public curiosity is the surfacing of CCTV footage, which seems to depict Shine exiting the complex during the raid. The clip has been viral on social media, initiating heated debates. To date, no official word has been heard on the actor’s direct involvement, and the probe remains ongoing.
While the law runs its course, the scandal has indeed brought Shine Tom Chacko into the center of attention once again—this time for all the wrong reasons.
